Bench seat question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

c50rob · 03-23-2012, 10:59 PM

Requesting information on the bench seat slider mechanism, when I bought the truck a little over two years ago the seat was sliding freely back and forth and not locking in place. At the time I was taking truck apart and not a big deal, now that truck is going back together does anybody have any pictures or advice? Basically all I have is slider handle connected to a rod going to the passenger side, seems like there should be a spring or springs for tension. Does anyone have any idea if something missing?

Yes, there should be a spring on the driver's side.

I posted some pictures in this thread. It may not be exactly the same but maybe it will give you an idea.

Thanks for pictures, missing some springs. Guess I need to stop by TSC or ACE.

I'm still trying to find the wingnut to make my seat tilt forward
